Super fast, super coolnot to mention super-addictivegaming systems are the hot PCs to have. With paint jobs that mimick racing cars and components that run seemingly as fast, gaming PCs have caught the attention of young and old alike.

True gaming desktops that play 3D games like Doom 3, Chaos Theory, or any of the other hot holiday games, have always been part of the upper PC echelon. Costing more than $5,000, these PCs include top-of-the-line components. And no component is as important to a gaming PC as the graphics card. Both of our top gaming desktops, the Falcon Northwest X2 and the Voodoo Omen a121, include the nVidia 7800 GTX graphics card in an SLI configuration. SLI is nVidia's technology that lets two cards share the graphics load, resulting in higher frame rates during 3D game play. Of course two cards mean twice the cost. That said, there are noticeable improvements, especially at higher resolutions like 1,600 by 1,200. (nVidia just released the GeForce 7800 GTX 512, which has 256MB more memory.)

If you're ready to hit the road with your gaming skills, the Dell XPS M170 is a good fit. It has a top-of-the-line nVidia Go 7800GTX card that has helped produce some of the best scores we've seen on a gaming laptop. And with its 17-inch widescreen, gun metal casing, and funky lights, you'll be an intimidator before you even power on.
